Last night, I had the privilege and honor of hanging around with the staff
at Quills Coffee as Kenny Smith helped them install their new La Marzocco Linea
3MP. To the best of my knowledge, it's the only paddle-group machine in the
city, and by all accounts, it's well worth the investment. It took us a little
while to get all the kinks worked out, and Chris Heiniger claimed to be nuzzled
by a family of possums, but the early closing time of 4 PM yesterday still
allowed us to get everything done by midnight or so.

Anyone who knows Chris Heiniger knows that the man just doesn't smile all
that often. Or, if he does smile, it's fleeting and not easy to glimpse. Thus,
it becomes all the rarer to see not only a picture in which he is smiling, but
a picture in which he is posing and smiling. This Linea 3MP, which he will be
working very closely and lovingly with, was deemed by him a more than adequate
reason to pose and smile.

Eleven days and a thousand miles separate me from my last morning in Boston.

sleeping in my own bed. Back to wishing I was in Boston.
